      Audience Member excellent movie!!!! Valeria Lynch is just the best singer in the world!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It you are looking for an action-packed movie with laser swords, explosions and a complicated storyline - look elsewhere. This movie is all about the music and dancing- gorgeous full length tango clips featuring wonderful well-known stars from movies and television held together with a very simple story line narrated through song and dance by Rubà (C)n Juarez, Valeria Lynch and the wonderful, inimitable Raul Julia. If you love dance this movie is a must-see! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Very creaky movie but motivated by a real love of the tango. There are some wonderful tangos, expecially the old milongueros dancing La Cumparsita. Flawed but some fine tango sequences Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member The rating is just for the tangos. The film is nothing special, if not bad. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Although the plot is a tad silly, it's worth watching for the tangos, especially the pay-off to Ruben Juarez's line "there's only one way to dance the tango: the right way". There are also some nice reconstructions of old fashioned tango - like canyengue. The people who made the DVD knew who their audience were when they put in a menu for dance sequences. I hope Valeria Lynch sued the wardrobe and makeup people! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
